Times of great calamjty and confusion...

"Times of great calamity and confusion have ever been productive of the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the brightest thunderbolt is elicited from the darkest storm."

2011 - A Year in Review

2011 was such an amazing year. 

 

The year of trips.

Orlando, Miami, Key West, where I met a state trooper named Rene. 

NOTL with my extended family. 

Ottawa. 

New York City. 

Camping.

Detroit. 

Edmonton and Drumheller, where I walked with the dinosaurs and conquered rocky hills. 

Buffalo. And then Buffalo again. And again. And again. And AGAIN. I never want to go there ever again. 

Banff and the mountains to end my year surrounded by family and friends. 

Calgary to watch the WJHC. 

 

Love is in the air.

My friends got engaged. 

I went to weddings. A lot of weddings. 

The eldest Ali sister got married.

 

Life.

The return to a job in healthcare.

Leafs games. Once even with the parentals. Never make the same mistake twice.

Amazing Race: Season Two. Being photographed by a stranger and being asked for an autograph. Great participants, amazing volunteers.

Eating in the dark with some of the best people I know.

Someone brightening my day by singing for me on countless occasions. 

Finally learning to drive.

Missing the Toronto earthquake, again.

Saying goodbye to old friends and making new ones along the way.

 

 

Amazing days, amazing nights with my family and closest friends. Talking all night and sleeping all day.

 

 

Being loved by someone unconditionally.

 

 

Dancing. Lots of unplanned, uninhibited, crazy dancing.

 

 

Falling in love.

 

 

Thankful for an amazing 2011. Love and respect to all those responsible for making it what it was. Looking forward to what the future has in store.

Lovely weather. OR IS IT?

So the weather is absolutely gorgeous outside (or so says everyone's fb status) and I'm stuck at my place working on 800/610 assignments galore. I felt pretty shitty until I went on Weather.com and saw this:

Freezing Rain Risk Starting Saturday - Ontario and Quebec will see rain and the possibility of freezing rain for late Saturday into Sunday.

HAHA SUCKERS! If Saima can't enjoy the awesome weather, NEITHER CAN YOU!

Why so serious?

Okay okay, I know. How cliche of me to put that line as the title. Seriously though, The Dark Knight = The Best Movie Ever. Watching it in Imax = Ever Better.

For those of you who haven't seen it, I'm not going to ruin it for you (don't think I'd be able to even if I tried). The movie was intense from beginning to finish. It helped me a lot with continuity having watched Batman Begins on Tuesday night. The acting was amazing by all not just Heath Ledger. Christian Bale did a much better job at being Bruce Wayne than in BB and Aaron Eckhart was just amazing at playing Harvey Dent. Also, I'm really glad they switched Katie Holmes and put in Maggie Gyllenhaal instead, who did a much better job than Holmes ever would have.

Anyone who hasn't seen it should get tickets as soon as possible and go see it before someone ruins it for them. If you live in the Toronto area, I'll go with you to watch it a second time =)

No other rants for today. Batman makes me lose all coherent thoughts. Imagine!

You know you love me,

What's an enplanement anyhow?

Happy Monday everyone! I actually have my eyes open at work today and that's all because Shai and I moved back downtown yesterday. Mom kept trying to get us out of Markham last week by dropping subtle hints ("I'll drop you guys there after mosque if you want") but we desisted until finally she could take no more. Apparently she's tired of waking up early to drop us, but I suspect she's just tired of our craziness =(.

Anyhoos, first off something in regards to my last post. It seems that building management noticed that people were irritated by the never ending alarm testing on Friday, so to make up for it they are...giving away free ice cream! Aww aren't they sweet? On Valentine's day they handed out roses to everyone walking through the building, and on Easter they had the Easter Bunny come in and hand out candy to everyone who worked in the building. What sweethearts (yes it's true, I am so easily bought).

On to my second item, airport taxes. Shaista and I have been looking at ticket prices to the U.S. (just for fun). It's pretty irritating when airport taxes and fees cost more than the actual price of the flight! I decided to take a good look at the different types of taxes/surcharges being laid out and one of them actually reads September 11 Security Fee.

Yeah.

I went on the website of the Transportation Security Administration (part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security) and found this in way of an explanation:

The September 11 Security Fee is imposed on passengers of domestic and foreign air carriers for air transportation that originates at airports in the United States. The fee, which is collected at the time the ticket is bought, is $2.50 per enplanement and is imposed on not more than two enplanements per one-way trip. Changes to the travel itinerary may result in either additional fees or a refund. Passengers who believe they are entitled to a refund should contact the airline which sold the ticket. The fees are collected by the direct air carriers, who must remit the fees to the Transportation Security Administration on a monthly basis.

http://www.tsa.gov/research/fees/passenger_fee.shtm
I don't even understand what one enplanement is, let alone "two enplanements per one-way trip". The passage basically says to me they want more money to beef up security *cough question people cough*. However, shouldn't this already be taken care of? Are they saying that before this fee was charged, no security measures were in place? Or is the money generated from this charge used "for questioning" in those special circumstances where people are singled out *cough racial profiling cough*?

Or maybe I'm just a simpleton who doesn't know enough about the U.S. political, economical and social structure to be making broad claims. Does anyone out there have any thoughts on this? I bet someone is itching to play devil's advocate.

You know you love me,

Bells ringing in my head

My alarm was set for 5:45am this morning and after snoozing for 25 minutes (I finally gave in at 6:10am) I finally got out of bed and lumbered through my morning routine to get ready for work. I fell into the car, slept through my subway ride and said goodbye sleepily to Shaista when I got off at Dundas Station.

As I walked into the Atrium, I noticed this very annoying beeping sound that was emanating throughout the building. Building security was apparently conducting some early morning tests to ensure that the alarm system was working fine and dandy.
That was at 8:09am.

It is now 9:18 and the damned alarm is still continuing to be tested, while building security asks us every so often to forgive them for their insolence. How can you do this to people on a Friday morning?! I know it's better than a Monday morning, but HOW am I supposed to concentrate on my work *cough Sudoku puzzle* when there is this very annoying and very loud ringing in my ears!

Enough with the alarm rant; don't think it's cause they stopped the testing. It's only because I think I'm coming off as a raving lunatic that spends all her time complaining. So on to other things, I've finally decided that...I'm going to camp! *Insert applause here* I've been talking about getting out of the city for so long and it just hit me that this is the perfect way of doing it! From August 1 till August 4, I'll be enjoying some (halal) fun up at Kinark Outdoor Centre. Anyone interested in coming can find forms and information at http://www.cig.ca. Yayy for camp!

That is all for now, I should probably return to my work *cough novel cough* as my co-workers start to trickle in.

P.s. At 9:26am building security announced that they would continue the alarm testing for atleast another hour! AHHHH my sanity!!

You know you love me,

And she blogs again.

So it's been more than two years since I've decided to post on my public blog (yes I am that sad, I have more than one of these sites!). I think the only reason I'm posting again is, well, I have nothing to do at work. The past month or so I have gotten very good at completing all my work as soon as possible and looking incredibly busy at the same time, thus being able to focus on the wedding (Asma and Masood's). Now that the wedding is over, I have nothing left to do at work!

Not that I'm complaining of course, but the lack of stuff to do led me to read some of my older and much funnier posts (re: eyeliner at mosque, valentines day rants, etc). They were always inspired by everyday events in my life. I guess that begs the question, what's new and exciting today? Well I got into work this morning and decided to, for the first time ever, fall asleep at my cubicle.

Or I should say, I tried damn hard to! It's not an easy skill; trying to find the optimal position for your shoulders, so that it still appears that your (closed) eyes are focusing on your monitor. Once I found this position however, I was faced with a new and more daunting dilemma - what if I started snoring? That would be a much bigger give-away to the hordes of people who decided to trollop by my cube every day. In my attempts to solve the major problems of my life, my co-workers started to trickle in, text messages were received, and my dream to sleep at work was crushed.

This isn't fair you know! Saima's very cranky without her sleep! BAHHHH.

Enough of a rant for today I think.

You know you love me,
xoxo

le monday

watching [everyone loves raymond]

so today was a busy busy day..mommy woke me up in the morning and i got dressed so i could come to school. i came for my 400 meeting, which was Supposed to start at 400 but Mariam didnt show up till 12:45..i came from scarboro too, and it only took me an hour..got to school by 11:30..but watever...anyways after that i met sunali and we went for lunch at east side marios...it was funny though, on our way from union station to skywalk, we ran into josh from work and also her BEN! he was sooo cute! and sunali n him were jus talking and walking and then we all said our goodbyes and went out seperate ways. she was all excited about seeing her hot man (for good reason, he's pretty cute!)...then i said bye to josh as well...
anyways after that we went to east sides mario and sunali was going crazy cuz she saw her sexy ben...wen we got there, she stumbled into the door and the maitre d guy was cute and started flirting with her too (oh sunali, my hot n sexy friend!) it was great...we ordered ceaser salad, italian vegetable soup and cheese capaletta (sp?) and it was allll scrumptious!

after that, we walked back tp skule which sunali's feet died cuz of her painful but very pretty shoes. came to class late, but its okay cuz it was a waste of time anyway..had my meeting with my group after class and then went to the lounge to meet ash and dwayne. we sat there with the guys and had a bunch of lafss. after they all left, we went to see the saa dance prac (lol, boy do they suck!) and then came back to the lounge to do movie nite (flite plan) it was actually good! i dont kno why people didnt like it...i think jodie foster acted well and the lil girl was sooo cute! anyways after watchin the movie, we left and i walked home..on the way i got my ice cream! so now im gonna go enjoy some lol

taking a leaf outta her books [fall to pieces - avril lavigne]

so i think im going to start doing what sunali does, and post more frequently! its actually very smart...you can figure out what you did on any prticular day!

so this week was kinda interesting... monday i had my econ quiz and itm310 midterm. i screwed up majorly on econ, only got 18/30 and in 310, i managed to get a 77% on the mc and accidently screw up on the written question part. i;ll have to wait n see what prescod actually gives me for that one.

anyways...that nite instead of studying like we should have been, sunali and i went to the lounge around 8ish and because there was no one else there, we turned off the lights and watched The Sweetest Thing. it was sooo funny, almost soft porn at some parts of the movie! lol....

on tuesday, i was sittin with nada, ammar and shai untill 11 o clock in the lounge. after they all left, i turned my music on loud and tried to study for my 400 midterm the next day, waiting for my 6:30 acc class that nite.

lets move on to wednesday shall we/

i go into write my 400 exam, it went fairly well..i kinda messed up cuz of the history questions but thats okay..still managed to come out with a 77%. hopefully that goes up even more cuz he said he mite have a look at the marks cuz of all those extra history questions..dum man

anyhowses...after that madness..hmm what did i do on wednesday...oh yeah..i sat in the lounge waiting for poor sunali dear to finish her three midterms..and then she came back between her second n third one and i took a nap, that was buckets of fun! then the other losers came, made too much noise and woke me up :( anyways after waking up i had a lotta laffs with jon, the rose guy, poorni, maciej and their friend dhruv...after wasting time till about 8:30ish...we all left school and jon, sunali and me went to franz for din-din...sunali and jon got a grilled cheese sandwich and i got tuna melt (ick that nite) and then we all shared desert..oh holy mother it was some SCRUMPTIOUS CAKE! loll it was sooooooo good n chocolate-y..Yummmm foodgasm! (LOL)

they both went home and then i finally went up to my place, and started studying for my thursday morning midterm *teehee*

now on to thursday..mm on thursday i got to skule to write my mhr midterm..which was difficult considering i didnt really study for it =o) (i need to start being a nerd!)then i went up to the lockers wid usmana man and ran into sindy (yayyy sindy!) lol we went to eatons cuz i needed to buy my suit for the interview i had on friday...so we walked around a bit ended up goin to suzy shier and got a reeeeelie nice suit for only like 65$ after taxes and for all three pieces...i also ended up gettin myself a purse *blushes* BUT it was a great deal..only 25$ for a nice pink ecko purse! its so beyootiful sigh..after shopping, we went to red lobster for lunch (how i love that place!) and then came back to skule so we could both work on our tings..i ended up goin home cuz i wasnt feeling too hot..and worked on my 400 group project tings..asma was sposed to come sleep over that nite but it was too late so she didnt. anyways, another weird thing that happened was that a) i lost my voice thursday morning so i was croaking the entire day and (b) everyone called to make fun of me and my croaky voice. you people are mean..M-E-E-N MEANNNNN

anyways that nite i had a great nite chat with tariq cuz he was kinda blah and i made him laff with my ailing voice. nice to kno my pain brings other people pleasure..

which brings us to friday....

so on friday i had my damn interview..got prepared for it, went to skule to prep...met sunali...i went to the interview, i think i tried to nail it at that time jus cuz i need to kno im god enough for a stupid job like theirs..but i dont really want that dum job..i mean i dont wanna fetch them coffee from timmys..wtf!

after my interview i met sunali at the lib...worked for maybe 5 minutes and then we both decided to go eat..she wanted to get the pizza so we went to get a medium pizza with the deal at 2 4 1 pizza...so we go and we're nicely enjoyin our foor rite..and this woman comes in..asking us for money and we;re like oh no sorry whatever not..and then shes like okay fine ill jus take some pizza then puts her hands into our food and takes a slice! we were jus sittin there shockeD! lol the owners and two other guys standing there started laffing and jus sayin what the hell kinda freak occurence was that! lol this is why people shouldnt eat food on dundas when yur in close proximity to church street :P

after that,we bought chocolate (oh heavenly chocolate) and walked to the lib..i had my meeting with 400 group, and then went to watch bluffmaster with sunali and the psa crew..it was really sad i dont think there was anyone from SAA actually there. anyways so we sat there watching the movie..it was pretty interesting..but my coff started getting really bad in the middle so we went out for a timmys run...the tim hortons inside the hub was closed so we had to go to the one infront of the business building. and i'm running there with a short sleeve tee and a really bad throat =) how smart am i! anyways i had to leave the movie and go home early cuz mom and dad had come so i left, went to meet them and they sat around for a bit before leaving to go to mosque. after they left, i came back to school to meet sunali, made her leave the library (the library! on a friday nite!!) and then we went to the itm lounge...listened to some really loud music and tried to figure out what we do every friday nite..
after moping around for a bit, we went to the maison of croissants and had a brocoli&cheese croissant, a chocolate croissant and a macademia nut cookie .. all that was soooo YUMMMM i cant believe ive never been there before! i think its gonna be a favourite from now on =oP we sat there and talked a bit...made plans for my rooftop party (lets see if That ever happens!) until asma n sarwat picked me up to go have dinner at gerrard (yes dessert first and then dinner! i love it!)

so we went to gerrard and after much deliberation decided to eat at lahore tikka house (where almost every waiter has a crush on sarwaT!) and had some gooood food.. we sat there talkoing and stuff until like a little past 12. came home and fell asleep by maybe 12:45ish or 1.

saturday..the day i started this post..lol..i called the tower with my croaky voice and asked what time i was going to be working..they told me to stay home and nurture whatever throat i had left. so i packed up my stuff and made the trek to scarboro..came home...did nothing except for start this post...lie in bed and tlak to a few people on msn..oh it was also the day sunali got to drive her car..GOOD FOR YOU HOMIE! yu drive n pump yur tracks like a brown guy in a civic :oP....anyways then i sat with the family for a bit..tried curry flavoured lays chips (yuck!) and got ready to go to mosque...went to mosque...came home by like hmm 11ish and fell asleeeeeeeeeeeeeep cuz i was soo tired but only after playing walkie talkie with asma n shaista LOL inside joke too hard to type out.

i woke up this morning (this morning being sunday...FINALLY!) and realized my cell had dropped to the side of the bed sometime during the nite..i have to go fish that out soon..came down had brekkie (french toast) and came online to finish my blog (see my drive and dedication!) finishing up my bloggie...yayyy a whole week summed up! now i shall go and work on a template for this blog!

Pretty-fying myself

Before i start: HAPPY BIRFDAY ASMA!!

You kno what gives me a laff. Seeing girls come to mosque dressed in black then heading strait fer the bathroom as soon as they step inside. Once they reach the sanctuary of the bathroom, out comes the makeup kit, after which they work studiously on pretty-fying themselves. Eyeliners, lips, even their hair has to be free from imperfections, cuz god forbid someone sees them looking normal for once. Lets take a sneak peak into the minds of a regular pretty-fying girl, shall we:

Okay so this year im soooo glad that i finally got sum cool black clothes as opposed to the plain ones my moms always tryin to make me wear. i mean come on, how can i possibly live without having a pant suit this muharram wid slits in the arms and a net convering for the neck. i';; be de hottest girl to hit mosque..now this is what i call muharram.
oh but BOOOOOO HOOOOOO my dad wont lemme wear my eye liner to mosque, looks like ill jus have to sneak it in and then pretty myself up in case im passing by the mens door at some time and by some freak of nature some boy my age happens to see me well enuff to notice my perfectly lined eyes...yes i think thats why i shud wear my eye liner. it makes my life complete.

this can go on, but i doubt that people actually care enuff to keep reading, so i will discontinue my rants and save them fer someone to hear in person (dont you wish that person was you)

for all those non-muslim, non-shi'ites reading (if anyone still reads this) i doubt youd understand this post...dont worrty the normal saima ranting-ness will be back this reading week

And so..it has happened

Who ever thought that I would run out of things to say? I know, *collective gasp*...It just seems like if i have nothing important to post about, i shouldn't post at all...Right?
Wrong..come on, its still me..im still saima so i shall continue ranting on even if there is nothing substantial to rant about..wheeeee =)

So glad to have gotten my acc midterm out of the way before reading week..altho i failed, its okay..im still pursuing the option of dropping out of skule and becoming a street bum. anyone interested in becoming a street monkey along with me can fill out an attached application..

hey i jus rememberd i do have something to rant and rave about..shai: gr!!! i dont like you! taking all my money! gr x2 at you!

okie dokie smokey (teehee shorty) im done fer the day

till the nex random post

...that someone like you loves me too...

listening to: everytime i close my eyes

I am so sick of going online to be bomarded with anti-valentines day rants everywhere.
boohoo i dont have a date..kill valentines day
boohoo my boifriend left me..kill valentines day
boohoo *insert personalized comment here*..kill valentines day

i dont understand it. anti-valentines-day people are people who hate the fact they have no one to share the holiday with and no one who gets them the roses n chocolates bit..i have a friend who was anti-valentines too...wore black every year except fer the year she had her first boyfrien (oh the joys of grade 10). then, the next year, she was indeed boyfriendless, so went back to rant about the insensitivity of having a holiday like valetines..when she was one of the people parading around one year before...grr...people..

or maybe i shud be grr'ing girls..cuz (yes i realize i am a girl) girls are too hard to please..infact they are never pleased in general (i kno, now its in writing and will haunt me for the rest of my life)

girls have this delusional idea of how a perfect life should be...the guy should always be willing to do watever we want but should have a backbone at the same time...let me explain..

R is going away to New York this friday until the end of Feb..which iz mucho crappy because then R's missing fer everyting important (vday & docks - which im not going to anyways..boo)..when i talked to him las nite, i told him..its not that i want you to stay in toronto...i just want You to Want to stay here....not even wanting to stay is jus wrong..but deciding to actually stay in toronto would be a bad thing...dont worry..if you dont understand, rin didnt either at first..it grows on you

so well the whole point is...even if you dont have a date this valentines day..please shutup with the whole anti-v-day crap...everyones sick of it...you included

My first celebrity

Once upon a time, there lived a crazy girl named Saima. She worked at the cn tower and wondered when she would finally meet her first celebrity. All her friends had already met someone..whether it was the hansen brothers, mark wahlberg, or a guy from the apprentince. Saima wondered, when would her turn come.



Then, one shiny winter morning, Saima sold two tickets to these scary looking mean guys. When they were about to leave the tower after enjoying their visit at the world's tallest structure and tower..taller than any building but shorter than the mountains...just, trus me on this one...anyways so they were about to leave..and nadine pointed out that the little kid was wearing a west coast customs t-shirt..and aha! it turned out the scary mean looking guy was indeedie from Pimp my ride! yayy i sold him his tickets!!!



I well henceforth be known as HOMIE-S or "homies" for easier name calling.
This was a result of a totally random conversation between rosie and myself in accounting class. Justin is now HOMIE-J, Rosie is HOMIE-R or "HOMIER", and Olena..well she gets the best one of all....HOMIE-O...or HOMEO (romeo with an H)..wow..thats cool...i wish i was as cool as olena..

till the next random post
stay smiling

Why bother?

* Do pal ruka khaabon ka caravan
Aur phir chaldiye tum kahan hum kahan
Do pal ki thi ye dilon ki daastan
Aur phir chaldiye tum kahan hum kahan*


I've become a bitter cynical bum these days (see i didnt swear!). I don't believe that there are good people in this world. I believe that there are evil people in this world and there are victims (yup renee...thts rite).

See, evil people believe that the entire world is at their disposal. They decide its okay to walk in and out of other people's lives at their disposal. They find it easy to play with other people's feelings and don't feel any remorse towards the person they've hurt. I would love to say that most evil people are males, but i would be lying because girls are damn bitchy too (whoops slipped in there).

I think i am one of those evil people.


The victims are those people who let evil people manipulate them. It might be continually or might be just once, but allowing anyone to belittle your selfworth is being a victim to the other person. Victims often become evil people because their threshold of what they can bear and take has been crossed (by an evil person). On the flipside, victims can actually become accustomed to being treated one way (by evil people), expect it from all others and ultimately set themselves up for more evilness coming their way.

I believe that i am also a victim.


So how can you be both? It's a complicated process. We'll leave that for another post.


Keep thinking

listening to: maahi ve

am still in school...sigh what a sad existence...i really feel like going out one nite and doing nothing than watching something like that 70's show to fry my brain....it seems like all i do now is study fer school and work on by projects...and im back to my library phase...the whole studying at home thing didnt really happen for me...

anyhows the stats midterm was...well..horrible..altho i studied a lot fer it, going to yesterday's tutorial totally freaked me out and convinced me that i would (indeed) fail the test...stupid smithie..hes such a mean guy...but apparenly thats always been the case and no amount of complaining or bitching by the student body has ever changed a thing...

hmm...other than that..i havent worked all week except fer going on sunday...gave my tuesday shift away, not working tomoro, not working sunday either..which means a very LOWWWWW paycheck nex week..sigh..another thing to look forward to in my life! *rolls eyes*

okies i shud get back to finishing my stupid exec summary so i can go home and sleep (sleeeep!!)...i like this new layout..a lil deeper than my other ones (see below) ... Everybodys fool was the one before the eye layout...ive lost the other six ones before that..but i this one, mite switch to one with cars nex week..or whenever i have time to write a code i like (which could take reaaaaaaly long) so i guess tll then, ur stuck wid this!!!

nehows, enuff of saima yapping fer tonite

Tujhe yaad na meri ayi

I dunno why, but the song seems fitting to match my current mood...which can only be described as "blah"....i dunt feel like studying or watchin tv or going out..i jus feel very very blah..i guess its the mid-first year blues catchin up with me...all i kno kno is that i better get outt this funk pretty quick because its no fun..anyhows

tonites the big nite, americans are actually voting for the nex monkey they want to usher into the hot seat that is the American head of parl...its funny...do we choose monkey no. 1 or monkey no. 2...it seems like a close call, but since monkey no. 1 has a little more experience running a country than no. 2, i would vote fer him...alas im not american (thank god for that!) and must not partake in this stupidity...

skulewise, ahh jus been using all my spare time studying stats or teachin others stats...and when im not doin those two, im complaining bout stats...my little life has no purpose does it...but seriously, i did get a chance to catch up with sum friends today, which is a good thing...am gonna see all of them on friday (commencement!) cant wait!!!!! wheee! once i go there, ill have sum pix to post up n share wid everyone....

hmm i dont really have anythign else to rant about...i did buy a few things when i went shopping...namely, one baby blue jacket, a green zipup n a gray hoodie...also bought my self 3 pairs of earrings! heheh cant wait fer my uggs to complete the new saima look!

other than all that, nothing much really goin on over at this front...am waiting fer election to start, cant concentrate on stats anyways so will watch the movie on city instead

alrite...enuff wid my shtuff!

Midterms..yuck

Alrite..so im finally done with four midterms, have the monster stats one coming up..on the whole, ive done better than ive expected and gotten all a's (so far)...but the thing that is mind-boggling is that i did better on my midterms than i do on my smaller quizzes..let me explain

fer 100, i study n study n study fer the quizzes, yet do jus average...n the midterm? i kill that one...maybe its cause the midterm's questions were actually sensible..i mean, we're in an IT program rite...so we should kno HOW a dsl modem works, not what the bloody acronym stands fer...i swear its so frustrating...thats the main reason i did horribly on my last quiz..arghh....how pathetic

anyways...other than skyle news...umm nothing else really goin on...oh yeah, a lotta people been askin me why im Congratumalating Asma! well, our lil genious has gotten herself not one but two job offers fer nex year!!! smartie pants that she is, not only got an offer from KPMG (he first choice) but also from Deloitte (her second choice...^o)) anyhows...we're all super proud of her :o) specially me, cuz shes gonna lemme borrow her clothes now!!! wheee! (teehee im so self-centered!)

okie dokalie...time fer stats class now..yuck....am out...

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all i've done.
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Anywhere from here
Light up, Light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do.
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear.

Just a little bit of wisdom i wanted to impart on everyone (plus its also a indian song, if you havent heard it b4 iz from MsK)

Dil apna dena khata ho gaya hai
Tujhe pyaar karna saza ho gaya hai
Saza ho gaya hai
Tujhe is tarah se yaad karne lage hai
Lahoo banke aansoo barasne lage hai

Mohabbat se hum bhi ab to darrne lage hai
Lahoo banke aansoo barasne lage hai
Yeh judaai beqaraari, haai yeh majbooriyaan
Har kadam par saath hongi ab meri tanhaaiyaan

Ab zamaana jaan lega pyaar ki dushvaariyaan
Meri dushman ban gayi hai meri hi parchhaaiyaan
Khushi ke liye hum ab tarasne lage hai
Lahoo banke aansoo barasne lage hai
Ho gaye hum kitne tanha pyaar mein dil haarke
Das rahi hai yeh judaai bin sajan bin pyaar ke
Yaad humko aa rahe hain chaar din voh pyaar ke
Voh adaayein voh sharaarat, haai jalwe yaar ke
Ho, judaai ke gham bhi mujhpe hasne lage hai
Judaai ke gham bhi mujhpe hasne lage hai

Lahoo banke aansoo barasne lage hai

Camp...not as much fun as anticipated

Listening to: Lloyd Banks (On Fire)

So i went camping this weekend with my family and the people from council...must admit it wasn't as much fun as i had anticipated...the usual stupidness wid de older people was there but i had expected there to be more actitivites fer the girls n stuff...oh wells, cant complain too much i still had a lil fun playin soccer, volleyball, tackle footbal (yeah! lol buddhi!) dodgeball and goin to the beach..who can forget canoeing, swimmin, playin water tag...only snag waz that killerbee had to be there but then i guess its too much to ask if i expected their absence rite? anyhowzzzz

so yeah i also went to work yesterday (im beginin to realize what a totally random n idiotic post this iZ) n the girls n i were acting seriously HiGh..or drunk...but that dont matter rite? there was a bunch of guys who came in and started takin pix of nadine n myself so (tada) i whipped out my camera fone and started clixing away as well =o) other than that..all i can say is....NINE CENTS!!!!!!!! I NEED NINE CENTS MORE!!!!!!!! DO YOU HAVE NINE CENTS??? ----> NO! hahahahaha (yeah i figure no one other than farah would get that one)

okies, so my last rant fer the day iz that my stupid counter has gotten reset sumhow...boooooooo so now it only shows like what five people? it was at like 800 before...jeez (*grumble mumble*) so people everywhere, kno that i aint a sad bloggie who only gets like 5 hits in its lifetime..yesh its tru that sumwhere people love me and visit me to read and discover the utter bulsheet that iz uttered here..till nex time then..keep living

Think about this

yesh yesh i kno everyone has prolly read this sappy forward a thousand times already, but i tink iz sweet nonetheless.....

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special and unique.

9. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.

13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.

15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

i kno it seems like im jus bitter...and maybe i am....cuz im sick of the whole system...which iz why i kno a lotta people are prolyl wunderin well hun if u hate it that much, why dont u jus leave...and so i am...leaving sunday school i mean....i think i would prolly appreciate those peopel more if i jus saw them at council shtuff anyways...

okie wells..after the awards thingie we went out to the picnic today..at birchmount park which was fun...at times...in the beg people didnt really wanna do any shit but we played cricket, catch, american football, catch n that kho kho tag thingie...plus i went fer a walk wid asma on the trail thingie and saw (almost stepped on) a garden snake (yikes!!) n also a cute lite brown rabbit...awww how cute! so there ryan...ive seen scary animals..not jus vicious house cats =o)
